LYNX Technik Expands Yellobrik and Series 5000 Capabilities with New Firmware Enabling 12-bit 4:4:4 & RGB Support
Weiterstadt, Germany — 25.11.2025 — LYNX Technik, a global leader in modular signal processing solutions, today announced the release of a new firmware update for several models in its popular yellobrik and Series 5000 product ranges. Offered free of charge, the update expands video processing support to include 12-bit 4:4:4 and RGB formats, in addition to 8-bit and 10-bit YCbCr.
The new firmware enhances compatibility with professional broadcast and AV workflows requiring full-bandwidth color sampling, high-precision processing, and uncompromised image quality. With these new modes, yellobrik devices can now interface more seamlessly with high-end cameras, grading and monitoring systems, LED walls, and broadcast infrastructure requiring full-fidelity RGB signals.
“We developed this update in response to customers who need increased color precision and format flexibility without changing their hardware investment,” said Vincent Noyer, CTO at Lynx Technik AG. “This upgrade reflects our commitment to extending product lifecycle value while keeping systems adaptable to evolving standards.”
The 4:4:4 chroma sub-sampling preserves full color information, eliminating the chroma data loss associated with 4:2:2 processing. Combined with 12-bit color depth, this delivers over 68 billion possible color values per channel resulting in smoother color gradations and enhanced HDR performance.
The update also adds Dolby Digital Plus and Atmos JOC audio support, along with general stability enhancements.
